Lanterns on the Awa 2022

Lanterns on the Awa
A community event to celebrate Whanganui’s support of Chinese and other Asian cultures.

Originally scheduled to be held on the Whanganui River bank, the event will now be held at the Whanganui War Memorial Centre. The event includes a stage for performers – traditional dance, music, martial arts and traditional Chinese hanging lanterns and the culturally significant gesture of releasing wax-coated floating lanterns (candles) on our Whanganui River.

Food and non-alcoholic beverages will also be available to purchase. A night of exciting cultural entertainment and magical family time!

Please note the new event date of Saturday, 1 October (rescheduled from Saturday, 10 September)
